Extra-Thick 100% Memory Foam Flat Insoles

ABSTRACT

Extra-Thick 100% Memory Foam has the ability to mold itself to the curves of the user&#39;s foot while continually realigning itself to give way to the user&#39;s constantly changing pressure points as they move. 
     Extra-Thick 100% Memory Foam Flat Insoles are worn inside the user&#39;s shoe and can help reduce the excessive pressure points caused by insoles made of thinner, harder materials that don&#39;t provide enough comfort. 
     They are uniquely made of only 100% memory foam, and are thicker than any other memory foam insole in existence. They are thick and completely flat, like a 100% memory foam mattress. This allows the thick memory foam to conform to the individual contours of the foot, instead of forcing the foot to conform to the shape of the insole.

BACKGROUND

The insoles available today are not made completely of only 100% soft,thick form fitting memory foam. Other “memory foam” insoles are toothin, and made with additional coatings or layers that restrict theperformance of a thin layer of memory foam. None are thick enough toprovide adequate comfort. The other insoles are not thick and completelyflat, like a 100% memory foam mattress. This doesn't allow the insole toconform to the individual contours of the foot. Instead, it forces thefoot to conform to the contours of the insole. Some other insoles aremade of harder, less form fitting materials such as rubber or gel. Theweight and impact of standing and walking in shoes with gel or rubberinsoles that are too hard to provide enough comfort and shock absorptioncan create and aggravate uncomfortable pressure points in the feet andbody.

SUMMARY

Extra-Thick 100% Memory Foam Flat Insoles are thicker than any othermemory foam insole in existence. This provides for more shock absorptionand comfort. They are uniquely made completely of only 100% memory foamto allow the soft, form fitting material to make direct contact with thefoot and shoe without any additional coatings or layers to restrict theperformance of the memory foam. 100% memory foam has superior impactabsorption properties. They are thick and completely flat, like a 100%memory foam mattress, which allows the memory foam to conform to theindividual contours of the foot. This cradles the foot while standingand walking by molding the flat, thick shape of the insole to the shapeof the individual foot.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A flat (FIG. 1—#3), (FIG. 2—#1) 100% memory foam (FIG. 1—#1) sheet (FIG.1—#2) 1.5″ thick in its preferred embodiment; however other thicknessesmay be used, is cut vertically at a 90 degree angle into an insole shape(FIG. 1) This creates a single, flexible piece of 100% memory foam to bepositioned inside the user's shoe. Shoe size customizable with scissorsin its preferred embodiment, however other shoe sizes may be used.

Extra-Thick 100% Memory Foam Flat Insoles are pressed down and insertedflat into the user's shoes. The flexible heel is held back with theuser's thumb as the foot is inserted over the thick memory foam. Thisallows the unique form-fitting, soft, comfortable, pressure pointreducing, shock absorbing properties of 100% memory foam to beexperienced under the foot.

The open cell structure of memory foam is one in which each cell hasholes. When these cells are compressed, the air pressure is spread toneighboring cells. Due to these unique properties, Memory Foam moldsitself to the curves of the user's foot while continually realigningitself to give way to the user's constantly changing pressure points asthey move. This cell structure helps the user more evenly distributetheir weight as they stand or walk in many settings, including work,sports, or at home.
